Description
One user was having a problem where whenever he checked something out it would get the red dot symbol indicating it was checked out to someone else, instead of the green dot, and he'd be unable to check it back in or edit it.
The problem existed because the name of the computer contained russian symbols. Each time he checked out some resource the properties window showed question marks in the check out status instead of the real computer name. So it was really checked out to someone else.
Workarounds
Changing the computer name to one containing only English characters made things work correctly.
